Getting AUDIO to come out of Roland Fantom XR in Logic 8

Hi. I am currently running Logic 8.
I have my computer hooked up via USB to the Roland Fantom-XR sound module.
I can get the computer to recognize the Fantom as a GM device. I can see the blinking lights go off on the Fantom when I press my controller, But I hear no audio coming out of my speakers and the speakers are playing other Logic events in the Arrange window just fine.
The question I guess I have is WHERE is the environment supposed to be set up in this scenario? Has anyone experience this problem?
cheers to you all....

Hi,
How have you routed the physical out(s) of the Fantom to the speakers? What are the speakers connected to? Do you use an audio interface?
regards, Erik.

Can't get sound to come out of speakers; new to Logic

Just installed Logic Studio on my new Mac tower intel machine. Have Bose companion speakers plugged into Mac. iTunes etc comes out just fine, but nothing from Logic; Logic comes from the towers tiny internal speaker.
Help?

Go to the audio hardware preferences, and select which audio interface you want Logic to use.
I strongly recommend getting started with the Getting Started manual, which walks you through all the basic setup stuff.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

Audio only comes out of the right head phone on my iPhone 4?

I've just bought an iPhone 4 16GB off a family friend and the phone was in fully working order, I've seen it and used it. It's been restored back to factory default and now audio only comes out of 1 head phone through the audio jack? I've checked inside the jack for anything in there and I've used 4-5 pairs of head phones I know are working having used them in other devices. I've used this phone in the past with the head phones so I know it does work. I've tried doing a reset, same problem still occurs. Any idea's at all?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPhone for a refurbished one for:

How do I get signal from my Roland Fantom G8 to Logic Studio or GarageBand?

My computer recently crashed, and since then I have not been able to record any music into either Logic Studio or GarageBand. I need to get back up and running ASAP, as I'm in the middle of recording music for 5 different projects. Here's all the gear that I have:
-1 Roland Fantom G8
-1 iMac with Logic Studio and GarageBand
-1 M-Audio Fast Track Ultra
-2 Rokit KRK Monitors
-1 USB cable
-1 midi cable
-2 1/4-inch cables
-2 1/4-in to XLR cables
The 2 1/4-inch cables run from Balanced Outputs 1 and 2 on the back on the Fantom G8 into Inputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra. The 2 1/4-inch to XLR cables run from the back of the 2 KRK monitors into Outputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra. The Fast Track Ultra is powered via USB cable that runs into a USB port on the back of my iMac. The midi cable runs from the "Computer" port on the back of the Fantom G8 into a USB port on the back of my iMac. This is the exact set-up I had before my computer crashed, and I was able to record just fine. When I open up the audio preferences on either Logic Studio or GarageBand now, it recognizes the Fast Track Ultra; however, it does not recognize the Fantom G8. What I'm trying to do is get signal from my Fantom G8 into both Logic Studio and GarageBand. I also want that sound to then project through my KRK monitors. I also want to be able to record audio and midi. Please help me!!!

I used the Fantom for several years and did exactly what you want to do. I simply plugged my Fantom into a channel on my mixer, in your case the 003. I ran a firewire out of my mixer (Presonus Studio Live) into my computer using Logic Pro X. Then I just assigned that incoming channel to a channel strip in Logic. As an example I used stero channel 9/10 on my mixer, (plugged in the Fantom here). Then the signal went via my mixer firewire to computer running Logic. I assigned my channel strip input to channel 9/10.
Does this make sense?
I just sold my Fantom last week and purchased a new Yamaha Motif XF8. Now I am trying to figure out the same thing on it.

RECORDING AUDIO through ROLAND FANTOM G8 on LOGIC PRO

Guys, I have been struggling for days, with such a ridiculously simple issue. I need to be able to record audio through my mic which is connected through my Roland Fantom G8 on one audio track in Logic, while simultaneously hearing the beat on another audio track through my computer's built-in output. Garageband does this automatically.
When I set the core audio input to the Roland Fantom, I can record just fine, but then I cannot hear the beat play through the computer's output. If I set the core audio input to built-in input, then I can hear the beat through the computer, but Logic does not detect my mic.
The program detects the Roland without me setting the core audio input to Roland Fantom, as I can record sounds on a midi track while simultaneously hearing the beat on an audio track. So why can I not record my vocals through the Roland on one audio track and simultaneously hear the beat on another audio track through the computer's output?
Somebody please let me know ASAP because I need to get this album of mine under way. It would be GREATLY appreciated.

It's quite common - people who are used to using entry-level tools don't necessarily realise that the software is designed to do a certain amount of hand-holding.
When moving to a professional program, people somehow think that the new program will do everything the entry-level one did and more, but everything will be even easier.
However, professional software is designed specifically to not do any hand-holding. It's assumed that people using professional software have a certain amount of skills. The software is designed to help them realise what they want, rather than constrain them in "easy-mode".
In short, it doesn't hold your hand, it doesn't tell you when to go to bed, and it won't look all dissapproving when you turn up the following morning with a hangover and half your clothes missing.
The trouble with having the pro stuff so accessible is a lot of people who are really at the level of using entry-level programs are using the pro stuff simply because they can - and then they get frustrated because these programs require some knowledge to use effectively.
Sit someone in front of Maya or After Effects (as an example) who has very little knowledge or experience, and they won't get far. And the software is not going to try to educate them.
And we see this with Logic Pro 8 like never before, as a lot of new users have come on board, whether because the price point or value is so attractive, or because LP8 is accessible in a way LP7 and before wasn't.
(Note, this is a general thing, not necessarily applied to the OP here...)

I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV. When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option. It says it has no output controls. I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck. Does anyone know any solutions for this problem. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hey jbarwins
Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

Embedding an imovie video (with audio) in Keynote on Ipad, audio only comes out on headphones not external speaker?

When using imovie on ipad to embed music onto ipad keynote slide, sound does not come out external speaker, only through the earbud jack? Is there a setting that will allow for sound through the external speaker?

Two possibilities I can think of. MAke sure that the side button on your ipad is set to screen lock & not mute. If it is set to mute, you'll need to slide it to unmute it before the speaker will work. Otherwise, it sounds like some kind of software glitch. I'd do a reset (I think you hold down the power button & the button on the top for like 10 seconds, until you get the screen asking if you want to turn your ipad off. Follow through, give it a few seconds, then restart it.

Getting sound to come out of external speakers

did a new install on a old pc. it has the standard ac97 audio on board and sound works fine in arch. but the sound comes out the pc speaker in the front and not from the external speakers hooked up to the audio out jack on the back. any ideas? the pc is an HP Compaq D530 tower

Why is does audio only come out of the left speaker when I press the latency button....?!?!

Hello
I have a small problem which I hope someone can advise me on ......
Everytine I press the Latecny button on Logic 9 the audio will stop coming out of the LEFT and RIGHT speakers and only come out of the LEFT speaker ?
Audio sent out of DAW --------> Mixng Deck ------> back into Soundcard via SPDIF (digital) on inputs 9/10
I am sening al my sounds out of the computer to be summed on a mixing decks and then the 2 channles of audio from the deck is coming back into my soundcard as an digital a signle on INPUTS 9/10.
Can anyone please advise ..........!?!

Might want to read on what Low Latency mode does + why and when you should use it.
It's basically only used in realtime monitorinr when recording and/or when recording softsynths.
By reading the docs you should be able to figure out why the right side is being muted.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=41%26se ction=2%26tasks=true
Be sure software monitoring is Off when recording the summed input.

Roland Fantom G8 to logic?

Hi there all together
I'm in serious trouble with my roland fantom g8. I linked it to my iMac via USB-Midi Cable and USB (fantom is said to be working like this). I also plugged in a line out from the fantom which goes into the audio input of the Mac.
Now, I'm still to stupid. Hitting the capslock I get sound from the fantom, but there's absolutely no midi transmission when I hit the keys of the fantom.
I made the environment as said in ninja's youtube-video:
Physical output to keys (incoming notes) to "showing notes" to sequenzer. Is there anything else I should do? In the physical output are the usb-midi-cable as well as the fantom. I changed the settings in the mac's in- and output as well.
Please help!
Kind regards from a helpless woman in Switzerland...

You should never have to set up anything other than your usb connection from your fantom g8 to your imac. I have read posts on this forum where some members are responding to other members questions with the wrong information. The usb on the fantom G8 WILL transmit both audio and midi into an application. You may want to use an external sound device if your not satisfied with the quality of the recordings using the imac hardware, but that is another issue all together. I record HD audio (24/96) all the time directly from my fantom into my host application. That includes midi as well. Thought you might like to know....

Cannot get audio to come through the TV through DTV connection

Purchased a DTV connection to the serial cable and plugged it into my TV. The video comes through but no audio. How do I get the audio to work on the TV instead of the Macbook when plugged into the TV?

I can't get sound to come out of my TV when hooked up to my computer?

Hi there- I have been trying to watch movies from my computer on my TV (a Samsung), but I'm having problems getting any sound. I am currently running on OS X 10.5.8 on a 2008 Macbook. I originially tried using an HDMI cord and have had no problems getting an image onto my TV, but I wasn't getting any sound and was told the cord was for both audio and visual capabilities. So my next attempt to get sound was to use an RCA to auxillery adapter to my computer, but I'm still not getting any sound. When I go into my sound preferences and see if I can change the output to the TV, my only option availiable is the internal speakers on my computer.
I'm thinking that because I have both the HDMI and aux plugged in, my TV is only trying to read the HDMI cord and not recognizing the RCA input, but I could be completely off. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your help!

As far as I know, 2008 Macbooks do not send audio over HDMI. HDMI on these models are Video only.
Also, many TVs do not accept RCA input when there is a HDMI video signal. Some TV's have options to use HDMI and an alternate audio input at the same time. My Philips TV can accept HDMI video and a separate audio in at the same time via a headphone-jack type input. However my TV cannot mix any RCA input with HDMI.
I have sucessfully used my 2006 Macbook on my HDTV using HDMI for video and headphone-jack-input for audio, so it is definitely possible. You just need your TV to play nice.

My headphone jack is unresponsive and audio still comes out of internal speaker

I went to listen to a YouTube video without bothering my wife; plugged in my headphones (both Apple ear buds and SkullCandy cans) but nothing came through them and the audio continued to pipe through the laptops speakers. Plugged in and out 7-8 times. Rebooted. No change.
First time this has happened. Thanks in advance.

CORRECTION: I'm running Lion 10.7.2 (not 10.6.3 as listed)

Invisible folders/where are they and how do i get them to come out and play

I need to do a hack on fcp 4.5 to get it to work on a G5......and please dont ask why......lol......
apparently this hack requires me to find the invisible folder on the installation disk of 4.5.......
how do i call out the spirits and get the invisible to be visible?
I've tried a blow dry and that has not worked......
thanks
rob

yeah??
thanks for your help as well.....
it's just amazing how people read too much into posts on forums and add there own interpretations......my original post was frustration.....not anger or yelling....but others took it the wrong way and sent my post into left field....
by reading this link this guy had the same problem as me and asked the same questions as to why apple would do this when he could use the latest version of photoshop with no problem.....adobe had no such restrictions on their software.....
i just find it disappointing that apple has done this......because all it took was deleting 6 lines of code that should not have been there in the first place.....
but all is well now.....fcp is screaming and i now need to work....
